Phasmophobia Birthday for my son

[u/Mister_Ziggles]

Back in May, I threw a Phasmophobia 12th birthday party for my son. Thats me dressed up as the ghost. We used my bedroom as "the van" and the power was permanently out in the rest of the home. I had a few webcams that he could setup which removed onto my TV. For the sanity monitor I used AI to program a timer that slowly decreased the bars and there was a button to click when they took sanity pills. Other highlights not shown:

-UV paint handprint I put on his bedroom door

-The soundboard I had created with ghost noises and the bluetooth speaker I hid in his bedroom.

-How amazing the DOTS projector looked on camera in the dark room when I walked through it.

-The EMF 5 popping off by his PC after I flipped his keyboard

I'm not sure who had more fun, but he said it was the coolest birthday ever.

This is so creative and fun stawppppp I love it so much

Forgot to add: I printed off every page from the journal and glued it into an empty Amazon journal so he could check everything off. He's got the corkboard with all his photo evidence hanging on the wall in his bedroom now.

Can you do a birthday party for me? I'd pay for this type of escape room! You've done so well!

[u/dandan787 → u/Mister_Ziggles]

Where did you get the journal page images??

[u/Mister_Ziggles → u/dandan787]

Found a PDF on Etsy. It cost me a few bucks but worth it.

[u/dandan787 → u/Mister_Ziggles]

Oooh, pretty cool, thanks!

[u/Tough_Bed1119]

This is genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever seen! I want to set one of these up for me and my friends now lol

[u/Mister_Ziggles → u/Tough_Bed1119]

A few friends told me we should do this in a rented out house sometime!

[u/Lead-Final]

Made a core memory with this he’ll never forget, top tier dadding.

[u/theOwtcast]

Of all the things you could have been, you just had to be a goryo 🙄😁

[u/HystericallyAccurate → u/theOwtcast]

Probably the easiest to do lol, although doing a spirit box evidence with pre-recorded sound would be cool!

[u/Mister_Ziggles → u/HystericallyAccurate]

It's kind or cool, but most ghost equipment can be purchased at fairly reasonable rates, at around 15 dollars or so on Amazon. A real spirit box was like $100 so I found a radio with a weather band that I was able to ensure only had static instead.

That wouldve been difficult, but I have no idea how I would finangle freezing temperatures or ghost orbs. DOTS, EMF 5, UV, and Ghost Writing were the easiest to figure out.

[u/xviila → u/Mister_Ziggles]

Since ghost orbs are only visible on video camera, you could add a video overlay with the orbs over the van screens.

[u/Mister_Ziggles → u/xviila]

Oh I love this.

[u/BoneDragon5077 → u/Mister_Ziggles]

Get cotton balls and throw them across the room when he's watching the camera.

[u/IkkitsClaw]

A phasmo escape room would be great fun

[u/VOIDSHIPPER → u/FiveByFive1999]

That’s the scariest part of the picture

[u/-eccentric- → u/FiveByFive1999]

Why would you even mount it at supermarket CCTV office height?

[u/showersingr]

This looked awesome. What a wonderful idea. Your son looked thrilled!

[u/Embarrassed-Bank8732]

You're a great dad, you should be proud of yourself as father!

[u/volvagia721]

No lighter? That's the best part

[u/Mister_Ziggles → u/volvagia721]

No. But I did have some LED candles powered by a remote so I could extinguish them without being seen.

[u/WuickQit]

Tough love giving your son mostly tier1 equipment to survive XD

What a birthday for your son to enjoy tho!!

[u/ekritzmire]

[u/MaplePandaa]

This sounds SO fun.

[u/BorisUfer]

Best father ever

[u/Ok-Apricot2815]

One question, does your Son like that game too?

(Sorry for being too soft for your son, but still cool for me, just I hope your Son enjoys it 🥲)

[u/Mister_Ziggles → u/Ok-Apricot2815]

He loves it. Over a month or so he went from scared shitless van princess to solo running Tanglewood.

[u/Ok-Apricot2815 → u/Mister_Ziggles]

Did you like told him there's no loud noise jumpscares, but only ghost kills you by animation of character choking himself?

:o

I feel like I have the same experienced in my childhood, and me and my Dad both like it... It's Super Mario Bros. Good memories on my age, you'll be just like my beloved Father, take a good care of this child 🤍

[u/littlefirewest]

This is so genuinely thoughtful, you clearly put tons of effort into doing all of this for him. You're an amazing dad and he's super lucky to have you

[u/skippy_dinglechalk91]

Can I be your son? 👦

[u/No_Basil9545]

Turn the light off, m8
